This headline caught my eye because my immediate reaction was, "Sure they can, but they can't even pretend to be federal investigators - at least where high-ranking government officials are concerned."
After a little more thought, this thought occurred to me: "Hell, why would so-called journalists object; they're posing as journalists too..."

How can you damage what does not already exist.

I see...it’s okay when law enforcement goes undercover in any of our professions, right?
But now that your ox is being gored, that’s different.
Hypocrites as usual.
And by the way, big media has already done pretty much all they can do to discredit themselves for generations to come.

Lol. They can pose as the President if they want. Why do journalists think they’re untouchable?

The FBI can pose as stupid BATFE agents. The Friends of Bill and Islam can pose as 100s of very Special Agents “investigating” H->! .

The solution is to regulate journalism by creating a Certified Public Journalist title that is registered by the various states.
To be a Certified Public Journalist and attach the CPJ title to the byline one must take a test involving an oath to swear to the truth and the ethical practices.
Thus, a law enforcement officer pretending to be a CPJ could be arrested for fraud the same as he can for fraudulently being a GRI realtor

LOL! The "journalists" at the 9/11 memorial this Sunday past must have ALL been undercover FBI agents.
After all, it's the FBI's job to hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil when it comes to the Seizing Pig In A Pantsuit...

What happens if you lie to an FBI agent posing as a journalist?That's an interesting question, and I expect that the answer depends on who the questionee is. If it was Hillary, there would obviously be 'no intent' and thus no consequences. If it was a Tea Partier, expect the outcome would be quite different, and one would need to hope for a fair jury after spending $10s of thousands on a defense.

Lying to a federal agent who is posing as a journalist is not making a false statement to an investigator. It is not illegal to lie to journalists.

You are assuming that we are a nation under the rule of law, which is no longer the case, and that the same rules apply to all people, which they don’t.

The thing is, being untrained, these FBI agents may accidentally report real and factual news.
And that’s how we will be able to spot them.
